We simply need ways to use the heat generated by miners for useful purposes. That way the power used to generate that heat will not be wasted.

Not at all. There seems to be many products in the market for heating up stuff using miners. I just didn't want to advertise.
Yeah, but are they reliable? Cost effective? Easy to deploy?

In short, can they compete with traditional heating? Radiators, in floor heating, heat pumps, etc. I doubt it.

I don't know for sure. I'd like to try it out myself.
